How EMILY SUNDBERG bet on herself and won: "I said if I ever make more from my newsletter than I am from consulting with tech companies, I'll try doing it full time and see what happens. And that happened." Emily built Feed Me into a top publication on Substack without bringing an existing audience with her. In this cut-down version of Open Tab episode 1, she talks through how she got there and what she's built since: • How she spotted the newsletter opportunity early • How she thinks about Feed Me as a studio (the podcast, job board, events, merch, and what might come next) • Why VC money makes her nervous • Who in media she sees winning soon
